Show and Tell!

Hudson had his first day of Head Start for this year today. It was only a half day, but his job on the chart this week is to be the Show and Tell person. He is SOOO excited. He has chosen his red truck, his spider-man foot ball, and the photo book from his great-grandma that he filled with pictures of his favorite people and favorite things like post cards. His favorite picture in his picture book is the one of him and Britton Tunnell at the family fun center. Sometimes he sits and stares at it and then crys because he misses her. He tells everyone he's going to marry her in the temple. He's pretty devoted for not having seen her in over a year. :)

I wonder what he'll say tomorrow when he shows everyone- but he has forbidden me from coming, which is just as well because I have to work tonight and will probably be too tired anyway.

Lincoln has a nasty cough- he's a little bit crankywhen he is trying to sleep, but the doctor assures me that it's just a cold. He's getting better at rolling and he's also gettting really good at grasping toys and things. And I have a feeling that unlike Hudson, he's going to want to put EVERYTHING in his mouth. (Sigh)

Today we took Hudson to the Dentist to get his choppers polished. He went back all by himself, because apparently he's big enough to do so... :( when exactly did that happen? They cleaned his teeth well and said that his teeth look good. The only concern they have is with his underbite- which will probably require some orthadontic work in the next few years. I wonder how we'll be able to afford it.

But he had a good time, and got to pick a prize from the treasure chest. He looked at a pencil and then put it down because "it doesn't have a tip on it". When I explained that it needs to be sharpened before it gets a tip he decided to take it home after all.

Grandma Griffin bought Hudson a bank with a section for tithing- so for Family Home Evening tonight, we'll be doing a lesson on tithing. He hasn't paid tithing yet, but since he is almost 5 (YIKES!) he thinks it's time he started. So tonight we will practice finding out what 10% is and we'll use his bank and show him how to fill out a tithing slip. Should be fun.

I am thankful that he's learning the gospel and that he enjoys family home evenings!

Hudson is a big brother! Ya, I know it's late- old news and all, but I got a bit busy what with Jason being gone all summer in L.A. So here are a few pictures of our newest family member. Lincoln Henry Moore- Born April 23 2010- 8lbs 6 oz- 21 1/2 inches long.

Some funny things Hudson said last night:

This airplane can go really really fast! It can do like 17 miles an hour!! It's going to fly to Helena!


and

"Knock knock!"
me: "Who's there?"
Hudson: POTATO! (hysteric laughter)
Me: Potato who?
Hudson: (looking confused) just potato.

Hudson sledding on college hill. It was his first time going sledding and he was a pro. He would lean his body to steer the sled, and he didn't get too scared to go by himself. He was rather fond of sending sleds down without a rider. Maybe he was giving his old buddy Borego a turn...

UPDATES! With Pictures!!!

Ok- mostly just pictures. Hudson is doing well, besides the fact that he had a nasty cold. He now mostly over the cough and boogies... The new humidifier we bought seems to help. He is getting more and more excited about becoming a big brother. He sings to my belly and blows it kisses, and talks to his brother. The baby wiggles when Hudson puts his hand on my belly and talks to him. (Baby refuses to move when Jason tries... Jason is starting to say he doesn't think there is a baby in there... I must be up to something... LOL)

Ok- Here are the pics. I will try to annotate as much as possible. :)
Hudson making Christmas Cookies at Head start!

Hudson had a great Christmas. He was actually more excited about his Lighting McQueen Pajamas than he was about anything else. He really loved all of his gifts, and has had a great time playing with all of them.

This morning was his first day back at Sharon's house and he was a little hesitant because he's had such fun with mom and dad during the break, but he's missed his friends and the routine he has there too.

Last night, I succumbed to Hudson's pleas to watch Spiderman on dvd. We've had it for a while but hadn't gotten around to actually watching it. (Again, this is a pictureless post for the time being, but I will have to include some photos of this) He was literally climbing the walls after. And pointing "I love you" signs at us and going "pchew!" like he was shooting webs. After scrambling against the living room wall for a while, he turned and said, "My fingers aren't sticky enough, mom. Maybe if I got a spiderman costume with sticky gloves I could climb up!"

He's also become really good at the "Oh my gosh!" face, after he tells you something cool he'll drop his mouth open really wide and his eyes will get all big and he'll incline his head, just so, and wait for you to react the same way.

I love my son.
